I find in iPhoto the "enhance" feature usually brings out the true colors.

Color temperature can go strange on overcast winter days.<br /><br />Second, make sure the "vivid" setting on your camera is not enabled. This can over saturate certain colors.<br /><br />Once in Photoshop, remember the lighting when the shot was taken. Was it bright enough to really have whites in the final image. Use the "levels" tool to try to match the original contrast.<br /><br />Also in Photoshop, don't forget the "photo filter" tool. This harkens back to when color film was real sensitive to color temperature. Look for neutral objects in the image, and use this filter to make sure they neither lean red or blue.<br /><br />I hope this helps.Peter Hertzmannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14816850042270467983noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17913552.post-77532305538663059902012-02-03T15:52:03.790+01:002012-02-03T15:52:03.790+01:00How were the crêpes?

All digital cameras seem to have the contrast set too low [for my liking!]<br /><br />Also, as digital 'film' costs nothing once you've bought the card, experiment with all the different settings until you regularly get what you as seeing. I took a load of pix of the same subject to get mine set up.... and it still under reads on certain shots, so I end up compressing the pix a bit with 'levels' in Pottyshop. My bro' uses HDR shots to get what he's seeing, as opposed to what the camera sees... it's our eyes that are the problem... we make mental adjustments that the camera cannot.<br /><br />WV is "stabilin"... you need a tripod to stabilinize the camera to do good HDR shots [or lean against a big tree, wall, etc.]Timhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16439261142732764451noreply@blogger.com
